| Abstract | The pyroelectric effect in ferroelectric materials has long been used for the detection and imaging of long wavelength infra-red radiation. Lead scandium tantalate (PST) has been shown to have exceptionally good pyroelectric figures of merit, especially for small detectors of the type involved in the large arrays needed for uncooled solid state thermal imaging. This paper will review the properties of PST in relation to those of other materials which have been considered for use in this role and discuss how the inclusion of dopants can be used to modify the properties of the material in a way which would be beneficial to certain modes of detector operation, particularly with respect to the elimination of the requirement of cooling. Single element detectors and linear and two dimensional arrays have been made using PST. Their properties are compared with those of similar devices made using conventional pyroelectric ceramics. Ferroelectric thin films can now be made using sol-gel techniques whose figure-of-merit are comparable with those of bulk ceramic materials and the properties of these will be reviewed in relation to those of the ceramics discussed above and their potential for device applications discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
